Picture it. Spring. March 31th, a beautiful but windy day. March 31th was the day of an event at Massapequa high school called catch a wave. I talked about going but then decided that if I wasn't tired after practice I might go. In the car home from softball practice, I asked my mom if I could go and she said what she always says, You better clean that room before you think that you're going anywhere. See I had to clean my room because my friend Lindsey told me that Jill, who at that time to me was someone that I knew but I didn't know well and I secretly had a crush on her and I knew she liked me too but I had never met her so I had to go because I just had to meet her and at the time I didn't know why but it was a sign or at least I see it as a sign now. I couldn't explain why I was drawn to catch a wave so strongly drawn to someone. It had never happened to me before. So I cleaned my room in a record time of 5 minutes. Something I had NEVER done before and my dad drove me there. Once I was there, I immediately texted Lindsey anxious to find out when she would be there. 5 minutes she told me and then texted me walking through the door. I looked at the door and it was like everything happened in slow motion. There she was, Jill, a girl that I had known of for a while. A girl that I was finally getting to meet and it didn't feel real. The rest of the night was one I won't forget. It was very eventful. I slapped a kid and had met the love of my life within maybe 20 minutes of each other. As people were singing we decided to sit down and linds walked away to talk to some friends while Jill and I sat listening to someone singing Ed Sheeran. At first, I didn't know how to feel when he played a song. One song. This song was perfect by ed sheeran. We were sitting on the floor singing along to this when I happened to look up and I saw Lindsey make a heart with her hands. I would later find out that Jill noticed it too even though we both thought the other didn't see her. Later that night we were texting and flirting and in that moment I asked myself, What if she's the one? I immediately shot down the idea thinking, that I sounded crazy, I had just met her yet there was something about her that was different from everyone from everything I had ever experienced or seen and the way that she made me feel was unlike anything I'd ever felt for anyone. Then on April 3rd at 12:34 am, we were talking about how happy we make each other when she said something that ill never forget. She said "Hey we both make each other happy so why not be happier?, and at first I didn't get it because I'm stupid so I asked and she said' " do you want to be my girlfriend and at first I was speechless I had never been so happy when I finally said yes and cried we happy tears. We went through that next week excited because Friday night we both went to Jack's house. We had our first kiss there and she got to meet some of my closest friends. Right after Jacks, she went to Florida. During that week we had our first fight and said I Love you for the first time. That summer we would hang out almost every day if not every day. Every time I'd see her or talk to her on facetime I'd get lost in those beautiful ocean eyes that I love. Towards the end of the summer we went through a rough bit and It was hard. We didn't talk for a while and In that time I tried moving on and I felt like a completely different person. I wasn't myself. I didn't want to get married or have a family and kids if it wasn't with her. I can't picture a future where we're not married. Where my children aren't named Kiara Rein, Valentina, and Luca(baby platano). Where I'm not living in bayside queens. Where I don't get to wake up every day and see her face. See most people may not know what is to come of their futures and that's understandable but my future is her. She's my everything. She's my forever and always. Right now we don't get to see each other very often but after 6 months, I've come to realize that time is short and goes by very quickly. It feels like just yesterday was March 31st and I was meeting her for the first time. Before we know it, time will have gone and passed us by. I wake up every morning knowing that I'm the luckiest girl in the world to be able to share my life with someone like Jillian Marie Sanchez. When that day comes, I'll get to wake up every morning to her face. I'll get to go to sleep at night cuddled up with my soulmate, my forever and always. We've come so far within these 6 months and we're a quarter of the way to our freedom. I read a quote today, this quote was "Things that come easy don't last long, things that last long don't come easy" It's not going to be easy and I don't want easy. Love isn't easy but our love is worth the fight. I love you so so sooooo much and I'm sooooooo in love with you it's unfathomable. Happy six months bubbie
